Hi,

We were recently asked by a provider to add magnesium 5g/10mL vials to our crash carts and Pyxis cabinets in OB areas for preeclampsia patients who do not have IV access. The dose for preeclampsia IM is 10 grams.

Historically we have stocked the smaller vials 1g/2mL which can be used for IM injection if needed. We are hesitant to stock the larger concentrated vials in a crash cart or Pyxis. Will you please let me know what you stock for preeclampsia and where you store this?

Thank you,
